I'm restricting you all to one GMG post a day. Sorry.

Such a policy would cause us to weigh more heavily the content of our individual posts, thus raising the level of discourse on the forum.

In this spirit, here's a picture of two sea otters holding hands:

The Moon is right around the meridian here and getting eclipsed, but thick clouds are preventing me from watching it.

They just don't get us, do they?

He SO jelly.

My neighbor is an old lady whose son shows up once every week or two to cut the lawn.  Well, apparently the son saw some weeds and decided it would be easier to spray herbicide on them than simply pull them out.  On the other side of the fence from these weeds was our raspberry bush (which we have been cultivating for three years and which was finally yielding fruit in large quantities).  Now the raspberry bush is dying.  Even if it survives, we are not keen on eating fruit from a bush contaminated with a herbicide.   The old lady also had an enormous azalea bush (probably 50 years old) which was the glory of the neighborhood every spring, which is now dying because the idiot also sprayed a weed that was growing next to it.  We have dug a new garden a safe distance from imbeciles, but it will be years before we will be picking raspberries in the morning again.

Do all countries have idiots like this, or is this a uniquely American phenomenon?

There's this classic too:

But is she as smart as a fourth-grader?

Well, it's that thing about the moon being far away. Deceptive if you have an elephant in front of you.

This is good no matter which way you lean, they both were focused, intelligent and not foaming at the mouth:

I took the test in DavidW's signature:

My results-
Mega-Dorky Non-Nerd

For Science/Math:


76% scored higher,
3% scored the same, and
21% scored lower.



For Computers/Technology:


41% scored higher,
3% scored the same, and
56% scored lower.



For Sci-Fi/Comic:


73% scored higher,
6% scored the same, and
21% scored lower.




For History/Literature:


74% scored higher,
5% scored the same, and
21% scored lower.





For Dumb/Dork/Awkwardness:


8% scored higher,
4% scored the same, and
88% scored lower.

Not sure I agree with that last one being that high... and apparently, not programming in extinct programming languages and not taking apart a VCR player and reassembling it lowers my "Computers/technology" score.
